Oh man I read a painful interview with Ade Edmonson in the Daily Mail the other day. He's on a "first rule of comedy - you must have reality" kick and in denial about everything he's previously done. Which is fine until you watch that shite he's just written.

Rob Brydon's best work since Marion & Geoff in this.

Why does no one ever talk about 'Pulling'? It is pretty good, I think.
― Stevie T, Sunday, 30 March 2008 21:04 (sixteen years ago) link
I don't know which is worse, Ade Edmondson being interviewed in the Daily Mail or an ilxor reading it.

Pulling, that's pretty shit.

Saw Gavin and Stacey for the first time last night. It's pretty good at what it does, but its gentle character comedy and light whimsy hardly excited me. All a bit Richard Curtis, dare I say it.

the last few episodes of G&S have been a bit off - start with the first series altho none of it is 'exciting' as such.

So, hey, I watched that The Wall last night. That's not so good.

Although, in defence of this nation, "Listen: don't knock The Jam, they was there for a lot of people" may be the funniest thing anyone has said this decade.

i caught seven and a half minutes of something called Two Pints of lager blah blah last night and it was the worst british comedy experience i've indeed witnessed.

it's not for you

2pints fascinates me for reasons i can't quite explain - the only thing even remotely like it is the old US tv show, "saved by the bell"
― Tracer Hand, Monday, 12 May 2008 14:52 (sixteen years ago) link
That's remote in astrophysics terms - as in light years away from being as good as even "Saved By the Bell"

I liked Love Soup up to the episodes with Mark Heap. He play a weird combination of creepy and soppy which I did not enjoy. But those outfits they wear in the shop are hot, definitely.

Teenage Kicks turned out all right, apart from the weird Asian jokes.

"Ed Reardon's Week" is as funny as Black Books and Love Soup and sometimes quite a bit funnier. Peng is maybe my favorite British comedy character.

Sitcom Moving Wallpaper will return to ITV1 next year, the commercial channel has confirmed - but without Echo Beach, its accompanying soap opera.
The shows - the brainchild of former EastEnders writer Tony Jordan - were launched in tandem earlier this year, to a mixed critical reception.
When Moving Wallpaper returns for a second series, though, scenes from Echo Beach will be incorporated within it.

Against all odds, ITV2 superhero sitcom No Heroics is pretty good.
New BBC2 comedy Beautiful People is not.

Actually, they're probably (The Thick Of It notwithstanding) still the best two of recent years. Definitely of the ones I've seen. Which says something.
